Gym Ignorance "Dont be that guy or girl"
Over the years I have been to many different gyms, Everything from the large fitness centers with way to much cardio equipment and the shitty rubber weights that make u look like a beast when its 25lbs to the powerhouse 99% of everything in there is free weights (what i prefer)
But no matter what there are always dumb asses that break the unspoken code
The most important ones :
(1) The second I stand up, leaving my 2 gallon jug of water, binder and stopwatch on the bench does not mean I am done, so don't unrack it or move my stuff unless u want my roid rage to kick in
(2) Dont be the guy who racks up 45 pound plates on a military press and start grunting and moaning like your breaking a world record
(3) DO not, be the guy who stands directly in front of you or directly behind you when you are in the middle of a lift, I picked that place away from everyone for a reason
(4)Dont be the dude that trys talking to you for 35 mins straight after I already started the workout, I know your just doing cardio but I'm trying to be a fcking beast
(5) * (Happened yesterday) Do not be the high school kid doing situps directly behind my squat rack when I am trying to max out, and then stare at me. Next time I will roll my bar off my back and paralyze you
Those are some of the few that set me off, which ones get your Roid Rage Kicked into top gear?

Can't sleep....
This thread is funny and I think deserves to be bumped. Here is one from me.
6) Dont be ASKHOLE . Guy who constantly asks you for advice, but has no intentions to ever implement it.
This happens inside and outside of the gym.
ergh old thread but...
the guy that takes plates off side of bench whilst im mid bench, or even the same type that stand dangerously next to you while you are trying to lift a barbell.
if they day come when they cause me to drop said barbell, and im i recover from the sure injury. i will kick off.
the ab flashers in the mirror...
people using my equipment.
posing in the gym mirror when you are no where near pro or even amateur...? do that at home...
TxBigBoyOh you know it! Tread loves feedin the ole cockmeat sandwhich to anyone who dares to partake in it.
28savage28Don't be that sweaty douche bag that ain't got the courtesy to wipe that liter of sweat off the bench... I pay the same as you for my membership, and no were in the contract did itsay I'm gunna wipe your shit down before I can use it... Prick
The other day I accidently bumped a guys barbell who was benching with my ass as i stripped down my 375 from my bench.
I appologized to him and tried to be cordial. He looked at me with the look of better not happen again. I looked at him with the look of your benching 95 lbs. I warm up for culrs with that shit.
Then i proceeded to tll him to fuvk himslef and nextime there will not be an appology,
Fuckin jerkoff. Dont be that asshole.
That was you?! lol
While I was at the gym this morning, some older guy came(early 50's no offense) over as I was deadlifting, tried giving me advice which from time to time I don't mind, if I ask for it. Not when I'm in the middle of hitting 455 and you start talking to me with my headphones on. Then when my headphones come off his advice turns into a lecture that I need to wear gloves and use wrist wraps? Uh no I like having rough hands and I don't need wraps. Now go run along, the big boys are trying to lift
Thats another mans ego trying to find a way to feel superior becasue you can tie him in a knot if you want. Unless he is moving that weight or better he should shut the fucip.
Haha exactly my thought
Dont be the dumb MO Fo's that bring your bad ass kids with you to the gym and let them run wild like "Bebe's Kids" having them look at me like i was in their way. My gym has a day care to watch your kids while you work out. PUT THEM BAD ASS LIL BASTARDS IN THERE!!!!! I swear if i sit down on the bench and get a power ranger stuck up my ass then Im not just gonna cuss their kids out, but theres a strong possibility ima bring their ass outside and show them how the folks in my neighborhood takes care of business
tread-mPepper spray their little asses if they get close to you and carry and don't be afraid to use a taser...its what they were originally made for and its time we get back to the basics! Oh and guess what! If Dad, who should have been watching those little bastards, even so much as looks at me for it, TASED IN THE FACE!!
Taser? you've been going to too many football games. Pepper spray? Right now Pope has his own skunk action going on, he don't need no stinkin' store bought spray.
tread-mTheres the solution..take pope with you to the gym! Its a stank I'm used to from being around him so I have some tolerance but the kids dont! My gym won't even allow kids in though so maybe finding a new gym would be the way to go on this one huh...
Dont be the fuck doing bench press in the squat rack on a balance ball when men are tryin to squat.
Dont be the fuck doing karate kicks in the mirror or shadow boxing by the dumbells. Wrong place.
Dont be the fuck who still has his nipples hanging out the sides of his micro ginne t. that era passed in the 80s.
Dont be the fuck trying to develop his silent rap career with his ipod.
And finally, dont be the fuck who feels the need to be the guru expert on everything in the gym. If i wanted your opinion I would have asked. Im too busy training to talk to anyone about anything. Be a doer not a talker.
Do be the guy who introduces his women friends. Thats cool.
Shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiittt
Today at the gym I saw a guy walk up to the barbell rack, drape his towel neatly over the 80lb, grab the 60lb, stepped back 1 foot and started to do his sets of bicep curls. As I walked past him, without thinking, I instinctively blurted out, “Don’t be that guy”.
He looked at me kind of puzzled for a moment but then figured it out. He grabbed his towel and took the barbell to an area where he was no longer in the way. From the look of the appreciative glances I got from others nearby I could tell everyone was thinking the same thing... I think we got a new catch phrase at the gym.
Lmfao thats awesome
He obviously isn't an Eroids Member or he would of known better haha
For a moment there I thought that some of the others were eroids members
tread-mVery nice Greg...Like you I take the high road. Just the other day having found myself in a similar quandary I approached a young fellow as he was to begin his workout. Having been somewhat in the way himself I approached ever so lightly so as not to scare him. Politely said "hey why don't you get the Fuck out of everyones way cockmeat". He was rather put off but as I said, I took the high road in posing it as a question so as to make him feel welcome and with choice. Good job on yours as well old friend.
LOL. Typically I would have shoulder butted him right into the rack as I passed by, feigning an, "excuse me" as I did so. But following you around the forums all these many months has shown me a better way.
lmao I def agree bro, esp when you smell them before they even come into the gym and lift a weight
and lmao a nice way to say fck you haha
I've pretty much read through all the posts on this topic and still haven't come accross mine. I hope its not just me but if you grab a set of dumbbells off the rack move the fuck out of the way!!!!!!! As well if youre about to put those 20 pounders back on the rack and someone comes walking over with 120s in his hands MOVE THE FUCK OUT OF THE WAY!!!!!
Wheww I feel better now thanks for the topic gymmrat
There's a wicked meathead gym near me but only one shower in it, you wouldn't wash your dog in it shame really so I have to train at the local craptacular leisure centre style of gym. Fucking machine hoggers and groups of teens talking texting and tonguing each others anuses.
This fairly big dude jumps on the flat bench and builds up to 265lbs and his girlfriend had been hovering and is about 112lbs steps over to spot him, I'm like wtf how the fuck is she gonna pull that off him if he fails??
He manages 3 reps and they struggle to rack the weight so he's got his head in his hands and she's rubbing his back and saying soothing things.
I was fucking embarrassed watching that shit it was like "don't worry honey everybody fails to get an erection at sometime"
Great looking chick but who the fuck would let someone of that size spot them with a weight more than twice what they weigh??
Scary shit, it ruined my set too cus I was getting ready to run over to pull the bar out of his frontal lobe.
We need a juicehead gym, like shit ton of free weights,blasting good music, so we don't have to deal with the bitches and bullshit haha
Thanks !
the 2 Hispanics mo fo's at the curl station yesterday when I was n a hurry but they wanna sit their talking and not doing shit ggrrrrrrrrr THE ANGER SHARKS ARE SWIMMING IN MY HEAD!!!!!!!
Anonjust sit down .. eat a piece of pizza, have a coke and a smile..
Agreed doesn't matter where you go. I train at 3 different gyms and shit never fails. Sometimes I just say fuck it and just take the bench. WHAT??? Say Something!!!!!
P.S. Just looked at your recent pics keep up the good work bro
sometimes you have bra, I dont have alot of patients, im not gonna be able to hold myself back b4 i say something to their ass, ya know.
p.s. thanks, im on it, i got so tired of being a lil guy that i finally did something about it.
I have one of those at my gym. He comes in in the morning grabs the incline bench, sets his coffee to the side, mp3 player on... then for the most part takes a nap. He might get in one or two REPS in 10 or 15 minutes. Then he'll pick up and move to another station and do the same thing. WTF, if you're going to pay for a gym membership at least work out and stop needlessly taking up space!
I concurr, if im paying $500 a year on my gym membership im gonna get ful benefits
tread-mWe need the "prevention of natural selection" laws repealed...the weak must not spread their inferior seed!
28savage28woah woah woah!!! im a screamer! after a set i yell so hard 6 viens are poppin out of my neck and every female in the gym looks startled! anything less would be uncivilized...
maybe off topic but would like to check some pics of your home gyms... I use some stuff at home too. I have a nice chin up bar mounted to my garage ceiling and a stack of dumbbells, bench, kettle bell, roller, box for plyo jumps, some jump ropes, and barbell. I really want a rack or smith machine... I have a good mountain bike and a good home bike for when its wet out, I hate to run, I look like a wild moose on the loose. I defiantly hate my local gym ( LA LA Fitness ) and the one that is a little further just cant take it in there anymore...too long to get in and out, but I gotta have some of that equipment. I would chip in to put a sweaty box gym in a hole around my house...I feel better now - thank you for the therapy.
well make sure b4 goth post his home gym pic, that he dont need to include himself in the pic posing butterball naked, ya gotta specify this because if u dnt he will be brittany spears posing with an apple in his mouth
It's ok to work out commando in your home gym' if you are into that - may as well let the lil guy throw some steel around too... I am up to 1 lb curls
Tried it. Balls flop around too much!...Awe yea... I usually pull off the vale tudo briefs at home but not the gym!
I CAN'T STAND YUPPY GYMS!!! You'll know them when you see them---nothing but Cadillacs, Beemers and Mercedes parked out front. Usually they have a sign over the top of the building that says "GOLDS" or "BALLYS". And they play music that was taken directly from gay dance clubs.
Golds gym is kinda like Harley Davidson---they used to be cool and strictly for macho guys, and now they cater almost exclusively to pussy-ass yuppies.
That kinda shit really pisses me off. It happens all the time. Now Harley has that flat black wanna be rat rod looking bike. Bull shit! I had to repaint my flat black pin striped bike after all the yuppies started trying to do it. God that shit pisses me off.
tread-mI'm not giving up my smoking jacket and ascot at the gym so whatever.. Good day to you sir!
...Did tread just leave on a Harley?
tread-mSilk sweat rag in tow..still sportin the 70's cotton wrist bands too, for practical reasons not fashion though.
God I hope you weren't wearing those 70's short shorts as well.
tread-mLol....no, even I gave those up. Nothing like the old school cut off levis, cut so high the damn pockets hung out below the shorts! I told you marijuana was a gateway drug! No other logical explanation for that time period.
Hope you had a pocket full of change too!
In agreement,can't stand gay music neither...
